Reflecting on Innovation
What we heard…
• CRVS systems need to be designed to work for people (Human-Centred
Design)
• The disaggregation of data, by sex at the very least, is fundamental
• We need to build a strong, clear business case to be able to explain how the
benefits of investing in CRVS systems outweigh the costs (economic and
otherwise)
• Systems need to be developed that can operate in – and help respond to -
conflicts and emergencies

Reflecting on Innovation
What we heard…
• Innovation is not about technology alone – it’s about identifying new ways of
working to build or strengthen the fundamentals (approaches, partnerships,
social inclusion)
• Technological innovation is not about the technology in itself but in its
application
• This requires coordinating across sectors and partners to support priorities
defined by countries themselves
• We need to learn from – and share - successes which overcome context
specific challenges

Key challenges
What we heard…
• The need for localised solutions, but that can benefit from regional and global
learning and experience. How do we do this in practice?
• How can service provision be enhanced to create demand for CRVS systems?
(incentivization?)
• In conflict and emergency settings, how can the systems of international
agencies and partners be interoperable with existing national systems to avoid
statelessness and other negative consequences
• Recognizing the potential of integrated systems, how do we ensure data
protection for populations?

Calls to Action
What we heard…
• Data protocols and privacy issues must be incorporated into legal frameworks
• We need to move from the concept of awareness to a real participatory
approach of partnering with communities and stakeholders to design systems
(adopting a participatory and ‘behaviour change’ model)
• We need to develop consistent global guidance on integrating CRVS and
unique ID systems
• We need to analyse what we collect and publish what we analyse
• In order for CRVS systems to work for all, we need to move from analysing to
taking action on addressing gender inequities
